I could see where that ocular rotating would take a bit to getting used to if ever. So for an overall pick you would probably stick to your NX8’s?

I can’t say 100% yet. Besides the ocular rotating I really like the ATACR.

I don’t care about the 1.4oz difference. Some people might.

If I can get used to the ocular rotating the ATACR would probably be my choice if money wasn’t an issue.

I have a NX8 4-32 F1 and a Atacr 4-16x42
For competitive shooting or target shooting, with some hunting use NX8 4-32
For strictly hunting id go atacr 4-16x42 all the way. Its only 1 ounce heavier, but is alot easier to get behind, no low power tunneling, and a locking turret. The ocular rotation doesn't matter and I dont see what the big deal is.

Ive used all three lines. The 4-16 ATACR is the most useful of them all. Just bought another from a member.
The 2-10 NXS is a great scope if you don’t mind SFP. I’ve never found it to be a hindrance hunting. I zero at 200, hold high out to 300 hundred. Crank it to 10x and dial if it’s farther. That has worked for me for a lot of years and a lot of animals.

I have the NX8 2.5-20 SFP. I have never had any other Nightforce scopes, but I have had the Leupold VX5 3-15 and the Razor LHT 3-15. The NX8 is far superior to those.
